Yep, and there is a civilian variant hk416 by the way, or at least it is in developement. I wouldn't mind one.

Lol, playing chicken with satellites
http://www.spaceweather.com/U.S. Strategic Command is tracking hundreds of satellite fragments. In the 48+ hours since the collision, the debris swarm has spread around both orbits. Experts characterize the distribution as a pair of "clumpy rings"; one ring traces the orbit of Iridium 33, the other traces the orbit of Kosmos 2251.
This injection of debris substantially increases the population of space junk at altitudes near 800 km. Collisions are now more likely than ever. Fortunately, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a much lower altitude, 350 km, so it is in no immediate danger. The Hubble Space Telescope is not so safe at 610 km. In the days ahead, researchers will carefully study the make-up and dynamics of the debris cloud to estimate when bits will begin to drift down to lower altitudes.
LISTEN UP: The US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar is monitoring the skies above Texas for echoes from satellite fragments. Try listening on Saturday, Feb. 14th between 2:18 and 2:28 am CST (0818 - 0828 UT). That's when Kosmos 2251 would have passed over the radar intact had it not been shattered.
Listen to it tomorrow.^^^^^^^^^^^

GG. Now them wrecks are going to kill other satellites too?
i call bullshit
so we can monitor 500-600 pieces of space trash 3" in size but we cant see a fucking russian satellite the size of a fucking car flying crash course into US satellite?????

Catalogued?? How the hell do you catalogue fist sized objects floating around in space and keep track of them?bad-man wrote:

Um, more like helicopter sized objects floating in space. And yeah how do you keep track of an object, it is pretty damn hard as there is a bunch of junk in space.Ultrafunkula wrote:

They're just badass like that.Ultrafunkula wrote:

No, really. Good radar + good grasp of orbital physics ("an object in motion.. stays in motion" etc) + manpower + computer budget = we know where most of the objects orbiting our planet are.
Kinda useful to know when you're pushing manned shuttles into orbit, or pushing multi-billion-dollar satellites, or adjusting the orbit of a spy sat to get a better look at something.
Hypersonic fist-sized objects punching holes in shuttles ... plays badly on CNN.
NASA doesn't like giving interviews to Wolf Blitzer that start off with "Can you tell us what went wrong?"
Yea they better have a schedule when there is a millisecond opening to get a huge schoolbus up there. Just curious how in the name of anything they have them on a x-y-z axis map 24/7. Need to have one helluva Amiga 500 for that.rdx-fx wrote:
